I am seeking re-election to the Co-Mo Board of Directors, having finished my second term as a Director. I have completed the classes necessary to earn the Credentialed Cooperative Director Certificate. I only need one additional course to earn the Board Leadership Certificate.
 

I have been a lifelong member of the Co-Mo Cooperative.  I will work hard to help maintain and grow the cooperative’s position in providing for its members by listening, providing input and making decisions for the best interests of the members. 
 

I live on a Cooper County farm with my wife, Harriet. I recently retired as store manager for Ag-Power John Deere in Sedalia. I am a Cooper County farmer, a married father of three sons, step-father to a son and daughter (deceased), and grandfather to 11 grandchildren. Previously, I have served on the Pilot Grove C-4 School Board as President, the Senior Citizens Housing Board as President and formerly a member of the local MFA Oil Board, along with coaching in youth sports leagues.  I am a member of Pleasant Green Methodist Church and have a B.S. degree in Ag-Econ from the University of Missouri (Columbia). 
 

With your vote and support, I will work hard for the member-owners to establish policies and procedures that help provide continued safe, reliable and affordable electricity along with high-speed internet through Co-Mo Connect.
